I'm struggling to build mails readable on small screens, ie mails
whose lines wrap correctly even when there are few columns. I'm
indeed thinking of smart phones.
I thought format=flowed would be the answer. However the first mailer
I tried – K9 mail – doesn't support f=f. I guess Android's native app
is no better. So f=f isn't the universal solution.
Your mail renders fine in my Ubuntu mobile phone BQ E4.5, in Dekko and
in mutt, see the screens:

mutt: http://www.unixarea.de/screenshot20151129_180302430.png
No it does not: http://rmz.io/ff.png
But that is because it was not a f=f message.
What do you suggest? It seems HTML is the only widely supported
format, which doesn't have line wrapping problems. So should I make
Mutt creating automatically an HTML part of a multipart/alternative,
using an empty HTML page template and wrapping paragraphs in <p>
tags? Is there something more clever to do?
No, please no HTML.
Indeed, please don't use HTML.
You might have better luck with "quoted-printable". "f=f" is much nicer
though.
